Education and no Copilot

I have just been approved for GitHub Copilot, and this meant I would get free access to Github Copilot. In reality, I cannot see how to use it, and the only suggestion is the free trial and the intro to Copilot; the latter requires access to Copilot to complete.

Hi @nab1g24 ,

I guess you're talking about GitHub Education benefits, make sure the status label is purple and states "Congrats! Your request for @nab1g24 was approved and your benefits are now available.", if so, try first going to the pack offers page, scroll down to the "All offers" section and select one of the available offers, for example Copilot, by doing that you should be able to redeem your offer, if you can't, I suggest you to raise a ticket here, select "I am a verified student having trouble redeeming my Global Campus offers" and explain your issue.

Thank you. I have got it working now based on your advice. And I also appreciate that my original message might not have been all that clear as I wasn't sure how to describe my situation.
